WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will review "all aspects" of its aid programs to the Palestinians if the militant group Hamas is in government after its victory in this week's elections, the State Department said on Friday.
"To be very clear, we do not provide money to terrorist organizations," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack. Hamas is classified by the United States as a terrorist group.
"We will base our actions on our law and our policies," he added.
So what is it? $400 million per year or less than $100 million per year?
The $400 million is actual dollars for last year. The $85 million is an average over multiple years.
Nail meet hammerhead.
Exactly right.
The funding will get pulled and then there will be a civil war.. or hamas will get smart and go quietly.
I concur, and Hamas's overwhelming victory makes that abundantly clear.Hopefully this will make it easier to finally finish the job.They can no longer claim that terrorist attacks are the work of a few radicals.Since the palis have made these terrorists their government then the next terrorist attack will be an act of war an Israel can respond in kind.
What is there needed to review!? STOP the aid alltogether.
When they get it right, it is not the time to slam them on past mistakes.
5000 quatloos that the newcomers are untrainable and will have to be destroyed.
Stop all funding now and let the war begin. As Rush says, there can't be peace until there's victory.
What's to review? Stop all aid...end of story!!!!!
Well, its certainly a mad, mad, mad world, isn't it?
Especially with Democrats in the mix.

Aren't we funding the Palestinians because it was part of the agreement at Oslo in 1993? We wanted, I assume, to appear at least somewhat even-handed, although we've obviously given much more to Israel. We've backed up loans for them also. Everybody knows we are biased toward Israel but to be an effective peace partner we must have committed mucho bucks to them anyway. Perhaps it could be looked at as some sort of "humanitarian" gesture as well. Great time to pull the plug, damn good excuse. Just do it.
Its like investing in a disease. STOP all funding,
$$$ that could have gone to REAL causes.
Amazing how this statement would fit just as accurately on any homosxual agenda thread. I guess all diseases work pretty much the same. (Islam, like homosexuality, is a mental disease)
